About FP Awards

Who is it for?

High school and university students.

Eligible projects

We have just three criteria for the projects:

It is led and, for the most part, done by students. External suppliers are OK.
It uses technologies for a good cause contributing to some of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
There is at least a working prototype or proof-of-concept to demonstrate the project’s idea. A concept paper or a PowerPoint presentation is not enough.

That’s all! And yes, you may participate in multiple teams and with multiple projects simultaneously.

Evaluation Criteria

The submissions will be evaluated with the following criteria:

How well the project leverages technology for good
Degree and scale of its positive impact
How innovative and creative is the solution

Jury

The Jury comprises selected Future Port Youth speakers, partners, and team members.
